Farewell Fangirl – Thanks for the Memories

Tara Madgwick - Tuesday Sep 8

12 wins and $11million in prizemoney, eight year-old Sebring mare Fangirl has been a special horse for the Ingham family and has done the cerise silks proud in a 42 start career that ended last Saturday at Randwick.

It started with a fourth placing at Canterbury on June 9, 2021 and ended with a third placing in the Group II ATC Chelmsford Stakes and in between came some so many glorious wins including a memorable victory in the inaugural $5million Group I ATC King Charles III Stakes in October 2023.

Fangirl will return to her birthplace at Coolmore and join the Ingham family owned broodmare band that is one less in a commercial sense as her dam Little Surfer Girl was retired from stud duties last year.

The last foals from Little Surfer Girl are a three year-old colt and two year-old filly both by Home Affairs called Gerroa and Gerroa Princess – both are trained by Chris Waller.

Fangirl and Jas Haynes, the last day was a happy one!
